These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund&#x2019;s performance.

Inflation-indexed securities are designed to protect the future purchasing power of the money invested in them; their principal value may be indexed for changes in inflation.

High-yield securities (junk bonds) are also inherently speculative.&lt;/span&gt;</oef:RiskTextBlock>

Bank loans may not be considered securities, thus the fund may not be afforded anti-fraud protections available under the federal securities laws. In connection with purchasing loan participations, the fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by borrowers with loan terms nor any set off rights, and the fund may not benefit directly from any posted collateral. As a result, the fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender selling the participation. Bank loan transactions may take more than seven days to settle, meaning that proceeds would be unavailable to make additional investments or meet redemptions.&lt;/span&gt;</oef:RiskTextBlock>

These securities also are subject to risk of default on the underlying asset, particularly during periods of economic downturn. The market value of collateralized obligations may be affected by, among other things, changes in the market value of the underlying assets held by the collateralized obligation, changes in the distributions on the underlying assets, defaults and recoveries on the underlying assets, capital gains and losses on the underlying assets, prepayments on underlying assets and the availability, and prices and interest rate of underlying assets. Lower rated tranches of such debt are subject to a higher risk of total loss and deferral or nonpayment of interest than the more senior tranches to which they are subordinated. Some of the collateralized obligations in which the fund invests may be covenant-lite loans. Covenant-lite loans contain fewer or less restrictive constraints on the borrower. The fund may have fewer rights against a borrower and an accompanying greater risk of loss when it invests in covenant-lite loans.&lt;/span&gt;</oef:RiskTextBlock>

The fund&#x2019;s use of derivatives, and in particular its use of inflation swap agreements and credit default swap agreements, are subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. Derivatives are also subject to a number of additional risks including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and correlation risk. In addition, gains or losses involving some futures and other derivatives may be substantial - in part because a relatively small price movement in these securities may result in an immediate and substantial gain or loss for the fund. Derivatives used for hedging or risk management may not operate as intended, may expose the fund to other risks, and may be insufficient to protect the fund from the risks they were intended to hedge.&lt;/span&gt;</oef:RiskTextBlock>

Selling securities to meet such redemptions may cause the fund to experience a loss, increase the fund&#x2019;s transaction costs and/or have adverse tax consequences. Redemption activity can occur for many reasons, including shareholder reactions to market events or product changes. To the extent that a large shareholder (including the advisor, another account advised by the advisor, a fund of funds or 529 college savings plan) invests in the fund, the fund may experience relatively large redemptions as such shareholder reallocates its assets.&lt;/span&gt;</oef:RiskTextBlock>
